Re: De Smith calls officials lockout “absurd,” doesn’t rule out a strike
“In America it is the employer’s obligation to provide as safe a working environment as possible,” Smith told Jim Trotter of SI.com. “We believe that if the National Football League fails in that obligation we reserve the right to seek any relief that we believe is appropriate. The NFL has chosen to prevent the very officials that they have trained, championed and cultivated for decades to be on the field to protect players and — by their own admission — further our goal of enhanced safety. That is absurd on its face.”

Goodell has already made a mockery of this league with his arrogance and abuse of power. These replacement officials are horrible. If they do not get this corrected and soon, it is going to end up being a comedy of errors that aren't even funny when it starts costing teams' games.

Do you think I should be worried if I agree with DeMaurice Smith?

He is spot on 100% correct. The simple truth is the replacement officials, while I'm sure they are doing the best that they can, simply aren't very good. Pro Football moves fast and the rules are many. The devil is in the details.
Roger must go. |
